    mac cheese grilled cheese sandwich

    Two favorites combined together make for double the child-friendliness of this recipe!

    My daughter found a pin via Pinterest. She created her own version of macaroni and cheese grilled cheese – one that has her siblings asking her to make it all the time.

    Macaroni and Cheese Grilled Cheese on griddle

    She basically cooked a favorite store-bought box of pasta with Velveeta cheese. She then grilled up the macaroni chees-iness between two pieces of bread until it was all melty and delicious. There are so many variations you could try with this. Make your own favorite pasta, stir in regular, shredded cheese. Make it your own!
